Where parking plans usually fail
Small moves go off course when the chosen stopping point looks fine on a map but leaves the crew walking too far, working around restrictions or loading through a poor entrance route.
That risk is higher in Didcot where shared bays, short-stay stopping and busy station-side roads make the most obvious space less useful than a quieter fallback position.
How to make loading simpler
Check the nearest workable stop, any managed access rules and whether there is a backup option if the first space is blocked.
When that is agreed early, the driver can get straight into the move instead of losing time to kerbside guesswork.
